                        TRIBUTE TO CHRIS KOLSTAD

  Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Chris Kolstad of Liberty County for his years of dedication 
to Montana agriculture.
  Chris is a fourth-generation farmer in Montana's Golden Triangle. For 
the past 100 years, wheat has paid the bills for his family and put 
food on people's plates, and that will continue moving forward with his 
son Cory as a partner on the family farm. Chris and his wife, Vicki, 
have four children, and Chris's father Allen Kolstad served as 
Montana's Lieutenant Governor from 1989-1991.
  While Chris runs an impressive and successful operation on the farm, 
it is his involvement in the community that makes him stand out. He has 
been an active member of the Montana Grain Growers Association, as well 
as the Montana Farm Bureau. In February of 2016, Chris was elected 
secretary-treasurer of U.S. Wheat Associates. Most recently, Chris was 
elected chairman of the U.S. Wheat Associates.
  Chris works hard to ensure that U.S. wheat is the best in the world. 
While pushing for that, he proudly represents Montana's farmers and 
ranchers. I congratulate and thank Chris for his years of hard work and 
dedication to Montana's farmers and ranchers.
